This monography is a review about Black and White cattle breeding in the Czech Republic. The main imports of the Black and White cattle to the Czech Republic have begun in the early sixties and are pursued in a lesser extent till now, especially from Germany, France, USA, Canada and The Netherlands (imports of young bulls, semen or embryos). Nowadays, this breed represents 46 % of teh Czech cattle population. In 2000 the milk production was 6,491 kg with 4.13 % of fat and 3.31 % of proteins. About 100,000 cows out from 215,000 cows of the Black and White cattle breed are pure Holstein cows. The breeding work is coordinated by the breeders' association, which is also responsible for the studbook. More than 100 young Holstein bulls are tested every year. The breeding objective is to achieve high production, outstanding dairy character, good fertility, high longevity and valid health. The nutrition of the cattle, different stable environments and systems of milking are also discussed.
